Moriori

Maui Solomon endorsing the Charter for a World Without Violence on behalf of the Moriori people of Chatham Islands in New Zealand. Central to Moriori beliefs is peace and non-violence.

Most Moriori were killed by invading Maori and the Moriori refused to resort to violence even to protect their own lives. Their culture and people were nearly wiped out and no full blooded Moriori exist today.
